In \u003ci\u003eBritish Gardens\u003c\/i\u003e, he finally brings his focus to home, journeying from the northern tip of Scotland to the Cornish coast, seeking to understand what our gardens tell us about ourselves as a nation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEncompassing historical gardens and public parks, mountains and seascapes, urban gardens and rural nurseries, glasshouses and community plots, each encounter is another link in a larger story of British identity: marks of ingenuity, eccentricity, and adaptation to changing environments. From Northumbria's Alnwick Gardens and Beatrix Potter's Lake District farmhouse to the rewilded walled garden on the Knepp Estate and the story of Britain's first garden gnome, Monty's account brings in an astonishing range of British experience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAccompanied by a landmark five-part series on BBC2, and illustrated by stunning photography from Monty's long-time collaborator Derry Moore, \u003ci\u003eBritish Gardens \u003c\/i\u003eis a definitive, and uniquely British, account of a nation like no other.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Don, Monty","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56677052711298,"sku":"9781785948732","price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0936\/6575\/5522\/files\/9781785948732.jpg?v=1779986612","url":"https:\/\/archwaybookshop.co.uk\/products\/9781785948732","provider":"Archway Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
